After President Yushchenko spoke at the Annual Meeting in Davos (session summary), the Forum agreed to organize an event in Ukraine. This cosy affair in mid-June is primarily reserved for partners and is a gesture of support for Yushchenko during his first year as the head of his country.

For business, it will be an occasion for Ukrainian and foreign executives to hobnob and size up potential opportunities.

We’d like to publish an interview with Mr Yushchenko in early June to find out what he hopes to achieve during the meeting and for Ukraine in general. The Forum’s Europe team kindly agreed to help set this up so cross your fingers.
